What is the batch script like that you call this from, or can you now call Powershell scripts directly from within Servers Alive?

Servers Alive Check type : external (errorlevel); alarm when errorlevel <> 0. An example of a PS-script I use : $RemoteServer=$args[0] $RefValue=1 $Value=Invoke-Command -computername $RemoteServer -ScriptBlock {(get-itemproperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Agent\2.0").Forcefixup} if ($Waarde -eq $RefValue) { write-host "OK. Value ForceFixup is $Value. " exit 0 } else { write-host "Error. Value ForceFixup is $Value, must be $RefValue." exit 1 } The script checks if a registry-key still has value 1. If not it ends with an errorlevel 1 and Servers Alive then generates an error. Kind regards.

Mailing List Users, I have been away from Servers Alive external check development for some time and the version of Servers Alive has moved on a fair bit since I was last doing this sort of work. I have had a quick look on the Servers Alive website for information regarding using Powershell for external checks, as this is now my preferred scripting language, but I’m not seeing much on the web site or the email list archives. Is anyone making much use of Powershell for their external checking processes, would anyone be will to give me some ideas of the sort of stuff they are doing and how you are wrapping Powershell scripts up so that they can be called from within Servers Alive for performing external checks.
